The WEDFEST Area

Kippure: an unforgettable place to say ‘I Do’

Beautiful Kippure Estate sprawls across 240 acres of stunning Irish countryside. Picturesque valleys and ancient woodlands are surrounded by rolling, heather-covered mountains, while the famous River Liffey winds its way along the border of the estate, forming a natural boundary between Kippure Estate and the Wicklow Mountains National Park. Our grounds provide endless opportunities for striking wedding photos all year round. Imagine romantic, snow dusted mountains as the backdrop for your winter wedding or being surrounded by pretty flowers for your summer ceremony.

One of the most spectacular places in Ireland to say your vows

Do you want your wedding and reception to be fun, funky and as individual as you are, something a little different? While standard hotel wedding venues can be lovely, as you hunt for your dream wedding location, after a while, they all seem to blend into one.

Help is here. If you need something out of the ordinary, something that truly expresses your personality or interests, whatever your decoration or theme, Kippure Estate is ideal.

Not only does a unique wedding venue like Kippure Estate give you the wow factor right from the start, we also offer the option of adding your personal touches to really make the place your own.

Your wedding story: a WedFest in Wicklow

When you choose Kippure Estate for your wedding, you don’t just benefit from our first-class food, one wedding per day policy and incredible landscapes. With the recent trend towards festival inspired weddings in Ireland, we’re proud to be able to offer you our new ‘WedFest Area’, designed for those who want something a little more offbeat.

‘WedFest’ is the term used for ‘festival style wedding.’ This unique approach to celebrating a wedding is becoming increasingly popular, giving you an opportunity to express your personality and style. However, you may be wondering where to start or what you need to do to organise a WedFest. Maybe you know you want to have a marquee wedding but worry about the cost.

Kippure has the answer. You don’t need to spend upwards of €10,000 just to hire a marquee when you can have everything you want right here for a fraction of the price. What’s more, there are no hidden fees when you come to Kippure. Everything included in our package is very clearly outlined, so you don’t have to worry about unexpected costs.

Our WedFest area is exclusive to you and completely self-contained. It gives you the freedom of an indoor/outdoor affair, with incredible views and a unique rustic elegance. It really is a unique location!

Country Chic Weddings

Alternatively, if you prefer a classic country garden marquee wedding, our marquee is just what you’re looking for. We strongly believe that every wedding should be as unique as each couple and we go that extra mile to make sure everything goes just the way you planned. A marquee wedding allows you to put a contemporary twist on traditional weddings, letting you put on a lavish affair in style.

Our wedding marquees offer a timeless elegance, protecting you from the elements while allowing you to enjoy stunning views as the backdrop to your ceremony, the perfect combination for an unforgettable day. Light and airy during the summer months or cosy and snug for the winter, whatever the time of year, you are assured of a wonderful time.

We can decorate the marquee to suit your theme and taste, so that you can really make it your own. Our wedding coordinators will make sure that the marquee is set up exactly how you want. With plenty of space to accommodate all your guests, everyone can be there to witness you say ‘I do’. With plenty of space for your wedding drinks and reception, you can celebrate the big event without worrying about how to transport everyone between venues, making it easy to relax and enjoy yourself.

It’s an original way to have the classic wedding everyone will be talking about for years to come.

Whether you choose to have a classic country garden marquee wedding or a WedFest at Kippure Estate, you will benefit from:

A one-stop-shop location. You can hold your ceremony, drinks reception and main reception all in one place for everyone’s ease and comfort.

A high degree of customisation, so your wedding perfectly matches your unique style and personality.
